Ok, since I changed the plan so juristically I decided to make a new thread. Anyways heres my plan:

The robots paint scheme will be sort of like a penguin. It will use a rad base, a white garbage can body, and the top of the rad torso. Still not sure on the head. I originally thought of doing an alarm clock and I modified one to ring from a trigger. now I have second thoughts. Ideas for the head?

Also, it will need a "cute" name. If anyone can think of one let me know!

Thanks!

@aislinn, Thanks for the ideas! I never thought of penguin names(lol).

@Jason, interesting bot! I could do triangle/pointed shoulders...

Penguin names: Jazz Bruce oreo Pepper tuxedo Echo Leroy

Bold is my top 3. Tell me what you think! "Echo" is a runner up.

Still need head ideas!

Thanks for the help!

I like the last ideas but I'm not sure how I would make them. Foam maybe?

Tell me what you think!

Body:

Here is my final deign on the shoulders. The sides will be indented with the ez-robot logo in the armpit.

I need help with the arms. I don't intend on using the arms to grab things. More just for cosmetics. They will be able to move at the shoulder only side to side.

Please voice your opinion! I want to here it! Place your votes!

Maybe you can use a toilet paper roll for the arm like boxbot

#14  

Anyone got votes on the head or name? I like the box or round head and the names alpha, Echo, or ulix. Anyone got there vote yet?

#15  

I like a bucket shaped head... reminds me of the old lunney toons cartoon when bugs bunny dresses up like a female robot:)

@Mohamed.r, this bot is 3-4ft tall. A toilet paper roll will be too small.

Thanks for the idea Richard.
